Western Front Exhibitions, Vancouver, Space 1026, Philadelphia; Little Cakes Gallery, New York; and Reg Vardy Gallery, University of Sunderland, UK, present The International Flipbook Festival.
The International Flipbook Festival is a celebration of hand-powered cinema. Designed by Rama Hoffpauir, this exhibition presents over one hundred flipbooks made by contemporary artists throughout Europe and North America. Originally devised four years ago by artist Andrew Jeffrey Wright as a film festival without the film, each of the flipbooks have been submitted into one of four categories: Live Action, Animation, Experimental, and Documentary. As in traditional film festivals The International Flipbook Festival will be awarding prizes in each category.
Artists in the exhibition include Erika Adams, Jenna Adams, Scott Douglas Blake, Jill Blagsvedt, Sebastian Bodirsky, Nicolas Booth, Kyle Bravo, Robert Brown, Jen Bulthuis, Joanne Burke, Bruce Busby, Kelly Coats, Martin Collins, Eva De Leener, Stephanie Diamond, Andrea Dietz, Jessamy Dipper, Alex Dunbar, Brielle Duym, Stefan Endewardt, M.
